CTO changes every 2 years, and policies/ideas can be bi-polar if you look in the long run.

Senior management does not represent the middle-lower food chain to the CEO well. The upper food chain is in its own world, and no one cares to ask about front-line workers.

Senior tech leads have pre-conceived notions about the tech stack. Cost/effort estimates are overlooked.

The tech stack has massive issues, always in fire-fighting mode. There is no design/tech lead per se, only a namesake. More tactical efforts than strategic are made to get to another day, week, month, and then you get a bonus, rinse and repeat.

Literally face a tribunal when issues happen.

Forget about work-life balance, including on weekends.

Heavily under-resourced across teams.

They pay you above the market rate but make you work at least 2X.

No learning opportunity.

Too much politics.

You suck.
